In cooperation with the Dubai 10X initiative and Dubai Future Foundation, Emirates Today publishes the most prominent projects participating in the initiative, which was directed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to all government agencies in Dubai To apply today what the cities of the world will apply after 10 years, Dubai 10X seeks, in cooperation with the relevant authorities in the Dubai government, to adopt new models for future governments, by bringing about a comprehensive change in the governmental work system, and setting future plans that restore the government’s role in serving societies and making the future.

Dubai Police participated in the first version of the "Dubai 10X" initiative in a project called "Police without personnel", with the aim of developing unique protection methods in the world, maintaining order and promoting security as a basic pillar, achieving the highest levels of prosperity and prosperity.

The project comes within the "Dubai 10X" initiative, launched by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Foundation for the Future, and the project is based on three smart solutions, which are: "Dubai eyes", and " Smart airships, "and" smart patrol. "

The eyes of Dubai

The Dubai Eyes system relies on connecting all public and private surveillance networks existing in the Emirate of Dubai, then linking them to a major operations room for cameras, while providing these cameras with smart features, such as motion monitoring systems, smoke detection systems and intrusion detection systems. Dubai Police reported that the “Dubai eyes” system will lead to integration between private and public security services and systems, to provide security protection rather than merely monitoring, noting that the system will also lead to the development of the Dubai Police’s home protection system, which will expand its scope to include full residential neighborhoods , Not just homes.

Smart Airships

Dubai Police explained the method of the "smart airships" system, explaining that smart observation balloons will be deployed throughout the city 24 hours a day, seven days a week. .

These airships will also be loaded with night vision cameras and infrared surveillance devices, connected with optical fibers, and linked to artificial intelligence systems, so that it provides live surveillance around the clock, monitoring incidents, issuing alerts, gathering evidence, and detecting crimes.

The “Smart Patrol”

Dubai Police said that the third solution is the "smart patrol", which is a policeman with full powers in a patrol equipped with all the necessary equipment to carry out his daily work as an independent organizational unit, applying the self-service system. The patrol operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has many powers, in which in many cases individuals do not need to go to police stations.

The "Police without personnel" project contributes to enhancing Dubai's position internationally in many indicators related to police services, travel safety, tourism, personal security, and other factors related to security and safety.

The “Police without personnel” initiative, which is being developed by Dubai Police within the first stage of the Dubai 10X initiative, aims to enhance security in the emirate, reduce the burden on police personnel, and optimize the use of resources.

And characterized by these smart security solutions that do not need the intervention of the human element, which contributes to the emptying of the police elements for other security tasks, such as maintaining security and fighting crime.

Dubai Police explained that the idea of ​​a "police without personnel" project emerged in light of the challenges facing the current home protection systems, which suffers from a problem of receiving the notice of the homeowner, verifying the crime, then informing the police, and providing it with available information, which consumes time and wastes The opportunity to apprehend criminals, so the idea came to shorten the distance, to use cameras to provide security for the neighborhood and the home in a way of community participation, and to adapt technological developments.

She added that she expects the project to contribute to enhancing the feeling of security among members of the community, reducing crime levels, as well as transforming society from a service receiver to an active participant in it, and enhancing the ability of the police to respond dynamically to future changes, by expanding the application of the experiment, to cover new regions and neighborhoods, and to enhance Partnership with community members to achieve security.

She pointed out that the idea of ​​the project is the first of its kind, as it is one of 26 projects submitted by 24 government agencies in Dubai, within its participation in the "Dubai 10 x" initiative, where a specialized committee, comprising a group of experts and specialists at a previous stage, undertook a study and review of more than 160 ideas, submitted by 36 parties, within 365 days.
